Thanks To All Who Helped Save the Kid

Editor:

We Saved Him!

Who can put a price on the Kid? We can, it is $3,718.

Can you hate a child for laughing? Can you hate a bird for singing? Can you hate a puppy for eating your shoes?  
Can you hate the Kid for playing on the beach?  Not us.

The Kid — Chris Hanson — reinjured his ACL on December 31, 2007, playing on the beach in White Bay.  On January 7, Rhumb Lines and Soma organized an impromptu party/benfit to help get the Kid back to the states and pay for his surgery and health care bills.

Thanks to all who helped, attended, and donated.
